we ended up moving from surplus to deficits. and it all culminated in the worst financial crise since the great depression. bill clinton tried the approach that i'm talking about. we created 23 million new jobs. we went from deficit to surplus, and businesses did very well. so in some ways, we've got some data on which approach is more likely to create jobs and opportunity for americans and i believe that the economy works best when middle-class families are getting tax breaks so that they've got some money in their pockets, and those of us who have done extraordinarily well because of this magnificent country that we live in, that we can afford to do a little bit more to make sure we're not blowing up the deficit. >> jim, the president began this segment, so i think i get the last word, so i'm going to take it. >> lehrer: you're going to get the first word in this segment. >> let me just make this comment-- let me repeat what i said. i'm not in favor of a $5 trillion tax cut. that's not my plan. my plan is not to put in place a

cutting the deficit. romney ended with the divisiveness, saying he would on day one be able to be collaborative, bring the two sides together. and, of course, in his closing statements, was very specific in term of where he is going to allocate capital and where he would not. and he mentioned the military, insuring that keeping america safe is one of the priorities. and that means not cutting military spending. >> i want to get thoughts on the debate from our john harwood who is on the ground in denver. what is your first reaction? >> my first reaction is that it was a strong debate for mitt romney. it's always hard for me to judge what millions of americans sitting in their living rooms are going to conclude about the debate. neither candidate had a huge stumble. i thought mitt romney had an especially strong moment when he confronted the president on cutting the deficit and challenged him directly. the bottom line i take from talking to people who work in politics and campaigns is the republicans are an
